The CIREL website, an agency of the Education Department of the Catalan Government, offers a large bank of ready-to-use CLIL didactic units covering a wide range of topics of various subject areas for both Primary and Secondary school..

These materials have been designed by Catalan teachers during a paid-study leave in the UK and are displayed in two different blocks: one collectsmaterialswhich cover 35 teaching hours; the other lists 6-10 teaching hoursmaterials. Although Catalan is the vehicular language of the site, all worksheets, teacher’s guidelines, activities descriptions and further materials are written in English. It is really worth taking a look at them.

We would like to congratulate the teachers who have designed these materials for their great job and thank them for sharing it.

The
Andalusian regional ministry of education has published a bank of content materials
for bilingual education.

They were designed for
use in CLIL classes (Social and Natural Science; Mathematics; Music; Sport; Technology and Art) at Primary and Secondary level in three L2s: English, French and German. Each unit is
organized around a specific content topic and covers 6-10 classroom sessions.
The units open with an outline of content, linguistic and
competence goals and each is accompanied by a teacher guide.

The units were
designed by experienced CLIL teachers with methodological and
linguistic support from a team led by Francisco Lorenzo and
including Pat Moore, both CLIL ReN members and researchers at the Universidad
Pablo de Olavide´s Learning Research Centre Icárea. These materials are available on-line (and free)

Planning Christmas is a webquest created with google sites for students in their last level of Primary education or DBH 1st level/ 1st cycle.

Task 6 shows a checklist for students to prepare their oral presentation to the class. The rubric for the whole webquest is in the assessment section.

As you may see, it proposes tasks for students to work on their own in pairs while the teacher moves around helping here and there. Students have to use web resources as well as the attachments uploaded by the teacher. Feel free to use it as it is or use anything you like about it!
